The key benefit is superior waterproofing and wind resistance without compromising comfort or packability. A potential caveat is that it's designed for everyday protection, not extreme expeditions.

It includes practical elements like underarm ventilation, an adjustable hem, and reflective details for safety.

The jacket is designed for everyday protection from the elements and offers superior waterproofing. While excellent for showers and moderate rain, it is not intended for prolonged exposure to extreme downpours like a dedicated expedition shell.
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
An Aqua Guard zip is a high-quality, water-resistant zipper designed to prevent water from penetrating through the zipper mechanism.
The jacket features an elasticated cord inside the hem. You can pull this cord to tighten the hem for a more secure fit and to block out wind.
The reflective details are integrated into the jacket design for enhanced low-light visibility and are expected to withstand normal wear and care.
Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn over other cycling apparel. Its fit allows for comfortable layering for added warmth if needed.
Waterproofing can diminish over time. Cleaning the jacket and reapplying a DWR treatment will help restore its water-repellent properties.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the teeth. Test the zipper movement carefully.
Ensure the underarm vents are open and not obstructed. If the ambient humidity is high, some internal condensation is normal. Consider removing the jacket if prolonged high-intensity activity is not occurring.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply wear it as you would any other jacket.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for cycling, it offers a fit that accommodates riding posture. It is compatible with other cycling apparel.
